Incredible lifelike flying robot bird from Festo [video]

I wrote about Festo frist in 2010 when I heard about the fact that they want to create lifelike robots, from four legged robots to flying birds and then even something that could mimic a human muscle in detail.

What you see above is a slow motion video created by the good guys from Earth Unplugged and it shows the level of complexity and how fluid the movements of that flying robot bird are.

What you may not know is that Festo has even created a flying robot dragonfly. This dragonfly can fly in any direction, it steers as natually as it can be and it makes only some noise. Let your imagination fly!
